Love Live! School Idol Project

Do you like "cute high school girls" performing on stage? If your answer is yes, then it's time to rock your seats. 

Both stories deal with a group of up-and-coming idols. 

Bang Dream is a Band Anime while Love Live School Idol Project is an Idol Anime. Both shows have a cute ditzy cheerful lead that everyone loves. One loves Bread while the other love Shiny things. Both have pretty cute girl mates and each one refuses to be a part of Band/Idol Group at first due to personal reasons. They have the same vibe and atmosphere and seems that almost no males are shown in their universe. Both are pretty good light hearted Slice of Life shows that deal with pursuing a dream or passion shared by their teammates. Stories about struggles and joy of being an School Idol Group or a Band read more 

If you liked either, chances are you'll like the other. Love Live is more of a realistic take, while AKB0048 is like a really silly take on the same subject matter. AKB has idols fighting to save the universe, while Love Live is a lot more like K-On, but with more of a focus on the plot. 

A small group of girls trying to start a music-and-dance-related club in their school. They struggle to recruit members, and their goal is to participate in a competition. Cute girls doing cute things. 

It's about some students that work hard to achieve their goal and also protect their beloved school. 

Both series are about Idols who trying to become best by their own way. The only difference is Zombieland Saga is more serious and horror-centric storyline while Love Live are more cheerful and has lighthearted storyline.  

Ambitious groups of idols who start from nothing and then strive for the top. Both contain a mix of comedic and dramatic moments, as well as a cast of likable characters (for the most part). Key difference is that WUG tries to show a more realistic portrayal of the idol business, while Love Live doesn't. 

Both series focus on high school-aged girls working together to achieve an seemingly impossible task and feature very strong soundtracks. 

Both are about girls trying to become idols. Both also have similar animation during the dance scenes. 

-Both involve music even if for different reasons -Main characters are all females -They are all slice of life genres Enjoy them! 

Both are talking about school idols. Main characters struggle to find new members. In Love Live, the group's goal is to save their school, while in Re Stage they aim to win the Prism Stage competition. 

Main characters are all girls. The schools face the problem of shutting down unless main characters do something for their school. In Love Live, girls are trying to prevent the school from shutting down through their performance as school idols. In Girls und Panzer, girls are trying to save their school by operating tanks and win the tournament. Two settings with two different approaches both trying to conquer the same goal. Love Live is great for those who likes music, and Girls und Panzer is great for those who likes action packed machinery fighting.  

Both Love Live and Free! explore the assembling of a club that does not exist in the school. One for the sake of the school to not disband, and the other just for the sake of competition. Both strive towards a common goal (winning Love Live/swimming tournament) and explore the friendships between the characters in their journey to achieve their club goal.  

With large casts, multimedia projects, a unique variety of songs, and strong motivations for success, 22/7 and LoveLive have a lot in common. They're both fun, short, and full of both laughs and sadness. Every character is as persistent, determined, and hard working as the last, and it's fun to see them all grow as idols and as friends. Neither series worries about competitive jealousy and drama; instead, they both let the teams and individuals drive themselves to success. LoveLive is more plot- and relationship-driven, while 22/7 is more character- and mystery-driven. 

Because they are cute girls school idol shows. Actually, that's not the main reason. The more I watch 'D4DJ', the more I think this anime is like a love letter to the original 'Love Live'. 'D4DJ' feels like a big 'Love Live' reference; drawing significant influence from it, while also managing to have its own charm and spin on the idol genre. If you don't mind the CG animation, then you'll find more of the same wholesome idol fun. 

While they are two very different anime at a first glance, both are incredibly similar in characters. Both share quite a large group of protagonists who go on the same journey to achieve different goals and find themselves, often with relatable backstories along the way. Both crews are known for the chemistry between each other, the constant comedy of each character and "nakama" aspect of friendship that are as close as family, if not more. One group aims to become great idols, while the other aims to become great pirates. Some characters are very identical, especially both protagonists (Luffy and Honoka) who are airheads that lead the group with their grit and whimsical nature, who follow their hearts and emotions rather than ever caring about logic. Many of the character traits are usually played off in a very comedic nature, but are sometimes used for serious moments, and can even be a character's pitfall. Robin and Kotori both have a fallout with the team at some point where they leave for a small period of time during a serious story arc, while Robin and Eli both have similar personalities after adapting to the group (and both are supposedly Russian). Nico and Usopp are notorious liars and often claim to be the leader of their group or the greatest idol/pirate, as the crew members ignore their antics. Hanayo and Chopper were at some point incredibly shy and both pressured by the protagonists to join the crew, and both have a bubbly nature where they find things awesome or cute. Umi and Nami can be kind and high-spirited, but are known for their seriousness and keeping the protagonist in check, usually in a comedic nature, scaring the protagonist when they get really serious. Nozomi and Sanji are both perverted and share a love for cute girls, and both can even have a mysterious nature sometimes, although their (Nozomi and Sanji's) personalities are wildly different outside of those. For most of both shows length, both shows crews consists of nine members lead by the bubbly, child-like protagonist, and is nearly always promoted as such. If you enjoy the chemistry between the characters, the comedy and relatable nature and love between the crew members above all else, you may enjoy the other anime as well. read more 

Both series focus on high school girls achieving their dreams and goals, though Love Live is more about idols while Euphonium is more about school bands. 

High school girls rally together against many odds to save their school. 

-Starts with mc finding new passion, making new club about it and finding members -Problems with finding members -Cheerleading and being an idol is alike (dancing, idols making people smile, cheerleaders cheer people) -Both are CGDCT ("Cute Girls Doing Cute Things") in school -Similar characters (Kohane/Honoka, Hizume/Eri, Uki/Umi, Kotetsu/Hanayo, Kana/Nico)  

The stories follow an orange haired female who upon seeing idols on TV, they are instantly entranced and amazed. However, in Love Live, she starts an idol group in which she scouts or recruits more members through the series, while in Ongaku Shoujo, the idol group has already been formed. Instead she is part of the staff management. In both, there is also a female character who does not approve of the orange haired girl creating/helping the idol group. All of the main characters in these two shows are females. The art style complements with the diversity of the how the characters look in a satisfactory manner. CGI scenes are seen in both, except Love Live displays it way more often than Ongaku Shoujo does, the style of the CGI are pretty similar. Conflict is seen towards the end of these series, although Ongaku Shoujo solves their conflicts way faster than Love Live does. read more 

Those who saw love live (only to those who saw love live) I recommend seeing little witch academy since both are animates where he talks about the ambition and emotion that is to follow the dreams with a cast of adorable characters that if you liked those of love live you will like more those of little witch academy, both play the same theme with different methods and styles but with content with similarities to each other. 

One of the things that have become the center of attention for Idoly Pride is the re-emergence of an established idol tournament with an exciting live battle system, such as the Love Live tournament, namely the VENUS Program and the VENUS Grand Prix. What distinguishes, the opponents of the protagonists (Hoshimi Production, which later split into Sunny Peace and Tsuki no Tempest) will also fight 2 teams, namely TrinityAile (which is actually TrySail's "reincarnation" in this franchise) and LizNoir (an idol group that is also formed for this franchise, based on Sphere). 

They both have same idol-ish vibe and i think Lapis songs kinda better lmao 

Both Love Live! and Show By Rock!! focus on the development of a girl band/idol group. They both also involve similar stories of bonding between the characters (training camp, practice sessions etc.). Plasmagica and µ's have a very similar style of music. 

-Both anime have similiar art style and character desgin -Both first girl also have similiar personality and help of thier childhood friends to create the club -Both anime consisting bunch of girls who want to create a club or associate but getting rejected over and over by their student council leader at first 

If you are a fan of "girls only" (Not Yuri), I recommend watching this anime because the story is fun and colorful. 

Well, idol world~ It's all about girls? Girls that are still in school. Good Friendship and nice songs and EXCITEMENT!! 

Both anime are focused on girls efforts to become idols. Personality of characters are very alike and also have plenty of moe. 

both are about a group of teenagers who make an idol group together singing dancing friendship development but no love interest in love live 

School girls form a performance group to try and save something: in Love Live, it's their school; in Cheer Fruits, it's a local hall. Most of the story is about getting better and coming together as a unit. 

Both Oshi no Ko and Love Live feature the genre of music idols and have decent drama plots. However, Love Live has far more episodes and is more lighthearted in nature. And of course, it has the famous "Nico-nico-nii" catchphrase most people will get. Worth watching. :)  

Both are about idols and are music-related. 

About girls fulfilling their dreams of becoming idols and works very hard to do so 

Girls with no experience in entertainment come together to try and become popular idols for the welfare of their hometown. In Love Live, the girls bring attention to their local school, but in Locodol, it's their entire town that they're trying to bring attention to. 

Both series deal about music and idols. It is more about the music or something to reach someone, to be famous. 

Both have CGI scenes for dances, other than turning ordinary girls into idols. 

Both are about high school groups forming a band of some sort. The prequel White Album is also about idols as well. They both show how the groups grow. 

Similar vibes with similar directing, female MC, music, drama, emotional moments, broken dreams, recovered dreams, new dreams, new bondings, with a group of people working together with a specific objective to fulfill and a vocation and love in common. Aquatope it's more slow paced and is not focused on music, nor idol unlike Love Live but the some music in Aquatope, like OPs EDs has a idol vibe. 

Plucky amateurs struggle to become famous idols so they can bring joy to everyone in fun character-focused dramedies. Much more focus is placed on the idols themselves and their relationships with each other than providing any kind of realistic look at the industry. 

the core theme of these two anime is "aim high" "Never give up without trying" and "dream about the future". In both. Initially, the main characters are ordinary nobodies, then, they are faced with a figurative "wall" that they must overcome(yielding ends the story then and there). After successfully jumping over this hurdle, they become well known and successful and then they discovered that now that they are successful, they are now faced with a task/goal far bigger than what they ever imagined(at this point, the progression is now different, but Love Live 2 fixes that). theme wise, there is this pushy character who gets all his/her friends to join him on his endeavor. this rubs off to their friends and then before they know it, they all already have the go getter attitude. These themes are also embodied in the songs used in the show as well (Sorairo Days, Susume => Tomorrow;Rap is a Man's Soul,Bokura wo ima no naka de) read more 

They're both school animes They both have to do with "bands" if you will (Love live is more lighthearted and Anonymous Noise has romance btw) 

It's undeniably obvious that Fruit Tart was inspired by Love Live. Each series has a collection of quirky young women aiming to achieve fame for the sake of saving something - for Love Live, that's their school, for Fruit Tart, the dorm. Their respective protagonists, Honoka and Niko are both extremely bubbly, naïve, and overenthusiastic protagonists surrounded by people with actually applicable talents, which makes for some fun group dynamics. Several other characters show similarities, but each has a different twist and backstory to make them unique. Both shows are idols, featuring a variety of fun dance performances, chirpy songs, fanservice, and cute girls doing cute things to promote and better themselves. read more 

It's an idol slice of life, characters are awesome. 

If you like Love Live Series, maybe you will also like this anime... why? because this anime has the same genre, namely music & slice of life, and this anime has a storyline that is no less good than Love Live... Just watch it first 

- Both are CGDCT where the “cute thing” is related to the entertainment industry (Acting and Idols, respectively) - Both feature relatively large casts of main characters (7 for WDS and 9 for Love Live) - Both have excellent animation when it comes to performance scenes - Both feature sweet songs, although Love Live is obviously more focused on them than WDS 

Both series feature unique casts of young women coming together through performance. The character writing in Sakura Taisen can at times feel akin to an Idol show, just with combat, magic, and mecha sprinkled in. If you're a fan of both MECHA and IDOL shows, maybe try Sakura Taisen. 

In this season have a group girl idol like Love Live 

Anime about a group of girls perform song and dance on stage. There are a lot of bright colours and a focus on costumes and performances. Revue Starlight is more of a magical girl anime while Love Live is more of an idol anime. 

So, you like Idols? - good You like singing? - good You also like action a bit more than Love Live offers? - Well thats good! Because I got the idol lesbian singing magical girl Anime for you! Watch it, because it is good.  

They're both comedy anime, and uhh..... ... they have characters, and they're both good probably  

Most of this anime is about group collaboration and development over time. There are struggles along the way and big competitions to work towards winning. Motives are questioned throughout the shows and more resolute goals are formed. Though singing and volleyball are different, I believe both shows have their charms as the groups are passionate, humorous, and supportive of each other; of course, with a competition tense atmosphere here and there. 

This is Story about the girl who enjoy their occupation, Railgun is more about Scientific and Love Live! is about Music but they make a funny moment sometimes. Especially while Maki/Mikoto who is Tsundere girls meets Nico/Kuroko who is clingy girl 

both have an all girl cast and are both about saving their school from shutting down. 

-A character that has an idea to forms a group to sing and preform -They both wear costumes when preforming -Both include mostly girl characters  

Shounen Hollywood: Holly Stage for 49 is a male idol while Love live is also an idol for female both for singing amd dancing concert 

Both are lovely series about girl who wants to achieve something in her life and she try really hard to make that dream come true. Hanasaku both as Love Live got funny and touching moments. 

Group of schoolgirls get together for an idol performance, bonding together during the training and such. 

You like cute lesbians? I do, too. Both of these shows have a mainly female cast, are entertaining for slice-of-life animes, and a carry some girl-on-girl innuendo. Only difference is that Love Live! has some sort of a consistent plot and an end goal in mind, while Yuru Yuri is all over the place, with mini arcs here and there. 

Both have a girl who is determined to get what she wants in life. Both also have to do with the entertainment business as well. 

This recommendation is based on the first 3 episodes of Battle Girl High School. The stories are different, but these two animes share alot of similarities: Same overall tone and feeling Similiar character design The main characters are alot alike, cheerful and friendly Similiar characters overall Lots of upbeat pop music Really close relationships between the girls Mild yuri subtext Similiar outfits Large cast of girls striving for a goal together Colorful The importance of team work 

If you're a person who likes cute things, simple joy, and light humor, then you will enjoy Megane na Kanojo. However, the basic stories are lacking in amazement or inspiration from the characters. In Love Live!, there are qualities about the characters that are admirable, yet very common. Females are portrayed with honesty, and the show has much more humorous scenes surrounding this large group of friends. 

A great music-centric series. 

Both of these series start out with incomplete casts and over time develop rich casts full of colourful characters. In them the initial casts gather more members in order to dethrone a powerhouse. Although the characters you are first introduced to may not be as interesting or likable than you would hope, the rest of the cast will surely make up for it. These are both great stories and while they may deviate from their manga they are enjoyable and well worth your time. 

both animes are about idols both animes are about friendship & trusting each other there are a lot of similar fan services in both of the animes the only differences are that: love live is about school idols, B-project is about mature and celebrity idols lovve live features 13-16 y/o girls , B- Project features 16-20 ish y/o mature boys 

LOVE LIVE has been one of my favorite anime since i joined the otaku world. it's fun and entertaining especially their performance and songs. you can also find similarities with this anime but aikatsu stars is a bit different with LOVE LIVE since the idols work individually in aikatsu. 

The general concept is pretty different. KanColle is about a bunch of middle school girls fighting to save the world and Love Live is about a bunch of middle school girls who become idols to save their school from shutting down, however both of these anime are still very similar in other ways. Both take place in a school setting with a large cast of characters consisting of only females. The comedy styles of both anime are very identical and different characters feel like they can fit in easily with any of the two anime.  

Like in Love Live, the characters Starmyu/High School Star Musical show their bonds and their friendship through the music they make. It's an emotional journey as the group takle the problems that they face through their journey which are similar to Muse 

Both are about a group of girls who have to become popular.  

Both shows have idols, famous ones (of a lesser focus) and ones seeking fame (of a greater focus). Also Aina Kusuda and Aya Uchida voice characters! 

Misaki (Sakurasou) and Honoka (Love Live) are really similar characters. The two shows are really funny but Sakursou is about romance while Love Live is not. The two shows focus on how you can achieve your goals by working hard and on friendship. 

- anime about idol groups (in LL they are female, in TsukiPro they are male) - they are working on songs for an upcoming idol event and try to solve the problems at the song writing and idea finding
